Description
The specified backup location's formatted (fileformat) cannot be used to store backups.
The backup location needs to be formatted as either NTFS or REFs
Resolution
BackupAssist's System Protection engine is only compatible with destinations that are formatted using the NTFS file format.
For devices that do support NTFS, it is easy to convert them from non-NTFS to NTFS using the convert command in Windows. From a Windows command prompt (Start Menu > Run > cmd) type the following:
convert f: /FS:NTFS (Where f: is the drive letter of the device you want to convert to NTFS)
You can also type convert /? for further help using the convert command.
On Server 2012 and later operating systems, the System Protection engine can support ReFS destinations as well as NTFS.
